CLEVELAND (Reuters) - An Ohio man detained in North Korea for nearly half a year got his job back with a city agency, but on condition he not travel again to a country where he could be easily detained, his attorney said on Thursday.

Jeffrey Fowle, 56, was released from his position at the city of Moraine's streets department last month because of his prolonged detention. He reached a deal with the southwestern Ohio city to return to his post, according to an agreement on Monday with the city supplied to Reuters by his attorney, Timothy Tepe.
